Software Developer Resume

Baton Rouge, LA

Dear Sir/MadamI am a software developer seeking a new opportunity to build high caliber Java desktop applications in Swing.

I have served on a number of software projects in every phase from concept and design to deployment in both collaborative and independent roles. Beyond implementation, my responsibilities have included the drafting of detailed design documents, the maintenance of legacy systems, and the building of internal tools and automated processes as needed to improve workflows.

My specialty and passion has always been building rich GUIs in the Swing toolkit, an area in which I am proficient. Projects both in and outside of work, ranging from sophisticated applications for clients to internal tools geared toward a specific need, have afforded me considerable experience with the technology, the one I was primarily educated in. I am comfortable translating specifications into screens, extending and customizing controls, implementing back - end interaction via JDBC, handling concurrency, and generally fulfilling functional requirements in tandem with an attractive, polished presentation layer.

I am prepared to provide sample work (launchable JAR file) demonstrating my skill set with Swing upon request.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to any future correspondence that may come of this process.
